This.
And on top of that; the most obvious stuff not being changed. With all due respect, but I don't give a damn about dashboard lights. Fix the damage model for example, thàt is important. Not how realistic one or another dashboard light looks*.
However, I disagree about the insim part with you Fordie. I'd even say it improved general racing or league racing. After all, we're here for a racesim.
* This is just one comparison example, many other can be found, it all comes down to: work on the game content, not the rice graphics.

Joining up with the good olde keyboard 
congrats horsey
No, just decided that my post came over a bit too much as "accusing" people, which is not my intention with the post.
Besides, I didn't went fast into the pack. I braked upfront and was on my way of getting through the carnage until I got hit by the FXR who bumped off on the rail or something. But it doesn't matter much.
Aaaaiiirbooornnn!

Now if only the wind would be realistic....
Can you please scream a bit less loud ?
Scares the **** out of me everytime

- Wind.
- Wrong setup for wrong track and a qualify one on that.
- Got tapped out on start two.
- DNF.
A race to forget.

I'm not objecting the penalty or anything. Just let me moan and vent my anger on NDR instead of on my self mkay.
Though I really can't remember hitting a pole on that lap. Do hitted one before in the boothy shack but that was a different lap. I even think the 2:25:84 lap...

Too lazy to download and watch reply. Bah. What nonsense.
By the way, is going over that white pit exit line and such neither resulting to an invalid qualify lap, afterall that's also an admin placed object.
May I ask why my 2:24:48 isn't noted down ?
From LFSWorld:
FZR

Because I paypal donated to you ?
Sick spectators, nearly shit my pants by seeing how close they are to those monsters!
Great movie though

Exactly! So what are they actually contributing besides DENYING another amateur team of participating in this great experience and well run league ?!
I didn't said they are forced to listen or follow up the poll result, I merely said don't forget to give a look at the pool. Looking doesn't harm, touching however....
GTAL is here to give rookies a chance to gain endurance racing experience, that's how GTAL was introduced to us. And the big difference between 1 & 2 is.... euhm, what exactly? It can give a pathway to racing in IGTC but that's up to yourself in my eyes. If you're quick enough in laptimes I don't see that much difference between IGTC and GTAL at all.
You're not faster because of a team driving in front of you for 3-6 or 12 hours. You get faster because you analyse replays, work on setup creating, teambuilding and doing your mileage. You gain the needed confident and experience by winning racing battles in GTAL, no guest team at all needed for that.. in fact, the opposite! You need equal competitors in order to gain dueling and passing experience.
If the guest team would for example post well upfront the qualify their qualifying setup or for the race their racing setup with detailled information on why exactly the camber in the set is set on -0.2 and not on +0.4 on this specific track (for example); then we can start talking about them contributing to our speed, setup creating skills and learning. But for now I really lack to see what they contribute to GTAL. Give us a 30th team and more racing action on our own amateur level.
If you want to compare yourself on MoE level, go practice some on the public servers who're crowded with MoE racers when they are training in the last week before a race. Simple really.
Don't forget to give the poll voting result a look as well... 60% says remove.
That bugs me more than a guest team.
Though I voted no:
- They do not contribute that much at all.
- They can be seen in MoE / IGTC broadcasting action live.
- They often provide more frustration than joy; not all guest teams perform well and are as pro as they might look - they can also cause crashes during races with championship consequences for us but zero for them. I'd rather have a 30rd active team racing then. It's not like there is no interest for people to join up in GTAL that we need "top teams" to fill up the slots. Now I'm thinking about this, it's actually pretty rude to use this guest team while people are eager, amateurs and wanting to race! Especially if you go announce them like Round 2 guest team is being announced...
- And last but not least: realism (not to forget in LFS). If we want to add realism by using annoying wind, rolling starts, safety cars, heavy rules and other; then also do it with the drivers and teams. I don't see Vettel (to take a well known example) driving in the GP2 during the F1 season to "motivate the GP2 racers and to show them how it has to be done". I neither see him racing officialy in NASCAR and F1 at the same time (to end up with my pointé from the very first line in this post).
If I want to race MoE or IGTC folks I'd join those leagues and not GTAL. Imho the "amateurism" in GTAL really isn't so present as I had expected / hoped for in GTAL. Not really sure (aside that I suck, obviously) why I signed up for GTAL and not for IGTC.
That makes lil GC sad
